Chapter 106 Rare Opportunity
Lv Panxiao didn't think so. She seemed to understand Ji Shuidong's intention, but she didn't expect Ji Shuidong's move to be so dangerous. She said, "It seems that Ji Xiaozhu did it intentionally."
Ji Shuidong smiled and said, "I have been thinking hard in the room for the past three days. If the person in the painting is similar to the self-portrait that the emperor usually sees, it is completely majestic and domineering. How can it attract the emperor's attention? It's better to draw another picture of the emperor. If the emperor asks, I will say it's in my heart. I missed the emperor for too long to make this painting. The person in the painting is the emperor in my heart, my husband.
Yao Yulu couldn't help but be shocked when she heard Ji Shuidong say this. Ji Shuidong is usually shallow-minded. I don't know how much it will take to come up with such an idea. It seems wonderful! However, the emperor's heart is unpredictable. There are many chances of winning, but the risk is also greater.
"Sister, you have figured it out. If you commit a great rebellious crime, no one can help you." Yao Yulu looked at the person in the painting and said slowly.
"Shuidong has made up his mind, so it took a few days to make this painting, but Shuidong doesn't know anything about poetry. Can my sister find a suitable one?" Ji Shuidong came today not only to appreciate the painting for Yao Yulu, but also wanted to ask her to write a poem for the painting.
Yao Yulu nodded, and her expression was still slightly dignified. She got up and handed the already prepared rice paper to Ji Shuidong. Ji Shuidong took it and muttered, "Thousands of maple leaves are thousands of branches, and the river bridge covers the twilight sail. Remembering your heart is like the water of the West River, flowing east day and night. It reads well, but Shuidong doesn't quite understand what it means, and he wants his sister to tell me.
Yao Yulu smiled and said, "This poem was written by the female poet Yu Xuanji. The title of the poem is Jiangling Sorrowful Hope. It is exactly the feeling of thinking about you, saying that the four years of Langjun are like water."
Ji Shuidong nodded with satisfaction and said, "My sister must be looking for a good poem, but although Shuidong is good at painting, her handwriting is not good, and she still bothers to write for her."
Ji Shuidong is a little embarrassed. Compared with Yao Yulu, he is really shallow in knowledge. At present, he only has painting skills to show off.
Yao Yulu nodded and acquiesced, saying, "Pang Xiao, help me study ink."
Lv Pangxiao nodded and walked to the desk and began to study ink. The fine ink fragrance permeated the whole room, which made people's hearts more and stained with a trace of literary atmosphere.
After Mo Yan finished, Yao Yulu took a brush and wrote this poem in the blank place of the painting. With a wave, her handwriting was beautiful and powerful.
"My sister's handwriting is really good, and women's words are rarely so beautiful." Ji Shuidong sighed.
"That's not as exquisite as my sister's painting." Yao Yulu said.
Lv Pangxiao looked at the two and smiled and said, "The relationship between the two little masters is so good that I am deeply gratified when I look at them."
Yao Yulu and Ji Shuidong smiled at each other, and all their words turned into silent friendship.
Ji Shuidong said with a smile, "Sister, then Shuidong will go back first."
Yao Yulu suddenly "clucked" in her heart. Now that everything is ready and the plan is about to begin, she is more worried. She said, "Be careful of everything. I can only wait for good information at this moment, and everything depends on you."
Ji Shuidong smiled sweetly and couldn't see any cowardice. He only heard her say, "Well, I'm sorry to bother my sister."
When Ji Shuidong came out of the West Hall, Yao Yulu sighed gently and slowly cleaned up the inkstone. Lv Fanxiao next to him hurriedly said, "Come on, maidservant, how can I bother the little master to do these rough work?"
Yao Yulu smiled miserably and said, "I'll do it. I'm not so worried about finding something to do."
"Ji Xiaozhu's auspicious man has his own appearance, not to mention that Ji Xiaozhu has made up his mind. Even if he doesn't paint today, he will come up with other ideas on another day. Why do you have to be too upset? This is just the way for women in the harem." Lv Pangxiao slowly persuaded him, but it made sense.
Yao Yulu nodded, but her heart could not calm down, always like something in her throat, unable to spit out and swallow.
Two days later, Ji Shuidong finally prepared everything. He heard the little internal supervisor beside the emperor say that the emperor will go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers this afternoon, but he may be accompanied by the queen.
Ji Shuidong thought for a moment and felt that it was difficult for him to deal with this situation. Fortunately, he said to the wise book beside him, "Go and help me find Yao, saying that I need her help here."
Ji Shuidong waited quietly in the room. She didn't want to bother Yao Yulu to help her any more, but now it seemed to be a helpless move. She wanted to clean up the paintings by herself, but her usual level was nothing more than that, and she also knew that her taste was mediocre. At this jugment, she felt that without Yao Yulu's help It won't work.
However, after a while, Zhishu led Yao Yulu to the Yaoqin Palace. Yao Yulu understood the meaning of Ji Shuidong and also brought Lv Pangxiao with him.
As soon as he saw Yao Yulu enter the hall, Ji Shuidong was relieved and said, "Sister Yao, I have to bother you to come here again. Shuidong is really sorry."
Yao Yulu smiled thoughtfully and said, "Why are you so polite to me? Naturally, I want to help if I can."
"I originally wanted to dress myself, but the technology is mediocre. I'm afraid this effect is..." Ji Shuidong hesitated.
"This...but Pang Xiao and I can't say that we are good at this matter. What should we do?" Yao Yulu was also at a loss. It was okay for her to dress herself casually, but if she wanted to have an amazing effect, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her.
Lv Panxiao just entered the door and kept silent. After listening to the words of the two little masters, she said, "I have a way. Although the maidservants and the little masters are not good at dressing up, I know an old aunt Rong who is particularly good at this. She once dressed as the empress dowager and the queen, and now she is in the palace for years. Few people still serve their master, but Aunt Rong and the maidservant have been friends for several years, and the maidservant tried their best to ask for a favor.
Yao Yulu's dressing Lv Fanxiao did not care about these problems. After all, Yao Yulu's beauty needs to be decorated too much by these rouge powders, but the season is different in winter. The more it is for women with a flat appearance, this dressing technique is particularly important.
After listening to this, Ji Shuidong smiled happily and said, "Is what Pang Xiao said true? Then I'm sorry to bother you."
Yao Yulu saw that there was some way, but she also said happily, "That's good. Please try your best to ask for it."
"The little masters said so, but the slaves and maidservants are going now." Lv Pang Xiao replied respectfully and hurried out of the Yaoqin Palace.
"Sister, I heard from the internal supervisor next to the emperor that the queen may go together today." Ji Shuidong said horrily.
"Then what are you going to do?" Yao Yulu felt a little ominous when she heard this, and it turned out to be unfavorable.
"I still plan to do it. There are too few times for the emperor to be alone, and it will be difficult for me to meet him. If I miss today's opportunity, I will only have no chance to change to the emperor's side as Xiao Shufei and Jin." Ji Shuidong said, but his heart accelerated slightly, remembering that he didn't have to be more nervous about what he was going to do for a while.
"I always feel that it's inappropriate. It's better for my sister to think more about it. If the queen deliberately obstructs it, it will only make matters worse." Yao Yulu weighed it over and over again, thinking about it and felt that it would be more inconvenient for the queen to be there.
"Shuidong originally went with the intention of fighting for this. My sister helped me too much. If Shuidong really gets the emperor's favor in the future, he will definitely not forget his sister's kindness." Ji Shuidong said gratefully that since entering the palace, no one has treated her as well as Yao Yulu. This words are permeated with too much dependence and emotion, and every bit of sincerity is written on his face.
"Where are you talking about? I'm just really being your sister. Why do you have to pay me back?" Yao Yulu said with a light smile.
As the two were talking, Lv Panxiao entered the hall with a series of fine steps, followed by an old maid of honor, who saw that the costume was also her aunt's position.
This old maid's eyebrows are not charitable, with a slight sharpness. It is probably because of the perennial training. Her skin color is very white and there are many wrinkles on her face, but she can still faintly see the charm of her youth.
